Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

ItalySuper excellent location, less than 3 minutes walk from Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern. View from the room of Hagia Sophia was super amazing - we took the twin room on the 4th floor. Staff were really friendly and helpful - shoutout to the team for the excellent service! Breakfast provided was a standard Turkish breakfast buffet, but the views from the restaurant was brilliant. Loved the entire experience, highly recommended!

In addition to the outstanding service, the hotel itself boasts luxurious accommodations, convenient amenities, and a prime location in the heart of the city. Whether you’re visiting Istanbul for business or leisure, I highly recommend choosing the And Special Hotel for an unforgettable experience.

United States of AmericaIt’s quite an older building so the noise from the above floors are pretty constant. It was a bit difficult with sleeping bc I’m a light sleeper. The staff moved me into another room after the first night, and it was better. But if you’re a light sleeper and you can’t wear earplugs, you might want to keep that in mind. Breakfast is average. The restaurant has good food but is overpriced. But that shouldn’t deter from booking bc there are tons of really amazing restaurants within 10 minutes walk of the hotel and fairly priced.
Top qualities why to book: 1. The staff are extremely friendly, and helpful 2. The location is amazing!! Literally in the middle of so many historical sites that Istanbul is known for. You can walk just about anywhere. The tram is nearby if you want to go out further but I didn’t use it bc I just walked everywhere. 3. The cleanliness was big for me and it really was wonderful. Their beds are comfortable as well.

SpainThe location is absolutely exceptional. Best place possible in Istanbul. Our room with terrace was right in front of Agia Sofia and really close to the Blue Mosque. The views are simply breathtaking. Best views I have ever enjoyed in a hotel. The breakfast outside, in front of the mosque was simply delicious. Murat and the rest of the staff gave us superb attention. A precious place to go back whenever visiting that precious jewel: Istanbul.

United KingdomWhen we first arrived, the guys at the reception were genuinely welcoming, which made us greatly comfortable. Throughout our stay, we were well looked after. Breakfast was great , once we came a little late for breakfast, they made us fresh eggs with tomatoes. Guys, at the reception, Murat, ugur were great, always smiling. Murat also advised me to where get good food, etc. Unal offered tea a couple of times, which was very nice of him. Thanks from the bottom of my heart
